A genus of extinct large ungulate (hoofed mammal) from Europe and Asia, related to giraffes and okapis, that lived in the Miocene epoch.
From Greek 'Hellas' (Greece, where it was discovered) + 'therion' (wild beast). Named for the geographical region of its fossil discovery.
Helladotherium was basically an ancient giraffe that actually lived in Europe—when Europe was warm and forested, before it cooled down and animals like giraffes retreated to Africa.
